As Mama Bieber (real name Pattie Mallette) allegedly told the Sun newspaper (via Female First), "I think so many people go into the entertainment industry with amazing Christian roots, and they go in with the right morals and they get influenced somehow."

"I ask that people keep me and Justin in their minds. I pray for him every day," she said.

However, she doesn't blame him for his behavior as she herself has had problems with drugs in the past. She reportedly tried commit suicide when she became pregnant with the Biebs.

"People pressured me to have an abortion. But I had a very strong feeling that I was doing the right thing. It was the best decision of my life," she admitted. "I pray that what happened to me will happen for everyone, for people that are struggling with pain, depression and hopelessness."

She concluded, "If Justin's struggling, don't kick him when he's down or condemn him -- pray for him."
